People were standing in long lines in Pittsburgh's Strip District to get last-minute holiday food items Wednesday.The people who Pittsburgh's Action News 4 talked to said they were shopping for small family gatherings. We spotted hundreds of people entering and leaving stores such as Wholey's and the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company to buy what they needed to celebrate.People stocked up on bread, meat and a bunch of cheese. People said seeing loved ones will look different this year, especially with COVID-19 guidelines from the state."I think it's unwarranted, to be honest with you," said one man. "But I respect the fact that some people just don't want to be around the crowd." "I actually have to see my parents through my car window and sit in the driveway and wave to them," said Tara Olkowski.2020 hasn't been kind to many people. Many people are still unemployed and seeking federal help from the highly-anticipated COVID-19 relief package floating around in Washington, D.C."There are a lot of people struggling," said Richard DiBella. "I'm not, but a lot of people are."Others point out that what happens next with the pandemic is up to everyone, including the people who are planning to have bigger gatherings.The most recent COVID-19 mitigation effort spelled out by Pennsylvania leaders says if you have some kind of home gathering, no more than 10 people; and if you're having an outdoor gathering, no more than 50.
